The deputies can enforce and arrest violators of Virginia laws which Park Rangers cannot.

The situations that arise from dealing with numerous visitors in remote areas and wooded trails present hazards to unarmed park rangers. The sheriff office deputies serve the rangers and the public. They can arrest and remove dangerous and abusive individuals from public lands.
